let’s collect enough

let’s collect enough
golden hours in a lifetime
to string a necklace

longer than the horizon,
more weightless than our eyes can see

layer by layer,

layer by layer,
joy carries unique weight, secures
us for the long haul

so that we can become weight-
less when conjuring up youth

on one hand, nothing

on one hand, nothing
is suspect, on the other
hand, everything is –

we are bound by our promises,
weighed down by acquired wings

leave it to a snow

leave it to a snow
storm to reveal all signs of
life – weightless details

soon after the new

soon after the new
year, there is a heaviness
that comes with being

weightless for so long, or is
it the other way around?

afternoon rain –

afternoon rain –
we have our system
down: separating,
filling, folding,
forming
dumplings
until we can return
to the lake to
become
weightless,
with dinner solved

years later, the trick

years later, the trick
is still hidden away in
his sleeves, guarded by

those wish-fulfilling fingers –
in dad’s arms, i feel weightless
